Big Myth #1:
Starting a Business in Mid-life
is a Bad Idea.
"It’s Too Late to Start a Business After 50"
What that kind of thinking really gets you:
You keep playing small, even though you’ve got decades of monetizable real-life wisdom and valuable skills.
You hold on to solutions people are desperate to pay for—just because you think you're too old or there's too much tech to learn.
You end up watching others with half your experience build the kind of life and income you know you’re capable of...if only you'd started.
But, Here's The Real Truth:
Mid-life is your unfair advantage. Not your limitation.
You’ve spent 20, 30, even 40 years building skills, mastering people, solving complex problems, and navigating real pressure.
That’s not just experience—that’s a built-in trust factor.
While others are “figuring it out,” you’ve already lived it.
Big Myth #2:
“I’ve Been an Employee Too Long
to Figure This Out”
You’ve spent your whole career climbing ladders, following company policies, answering to bosses... and now you’re supposed to suddenly think like a business owner?
That leap feels HUGE.
The good news:
You don’t need to know everything.
You don’t need to “be more tech-savvy.”
You don’t need a business degree.
You just need someone who knows the way.
You need someone who gets where you’re starting and knows how to walk you into the bright, purposeful future you want.
This is why coaching isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
Hello, I'm Kia and I'm here to
help you get there.
You’ve made the big decision to start a business after a long career as an employee. You're not ready to retire yet, but you’re doubting whether you can actually pull it off. Well, you absolutely can!
I completely understand that exchanging a career of job safety for the excitement of entrepreneurship can feel overwhelmingly scary on the best of days.
You'll have something that YouTube can never provide: a clear roadmap, with real accountability, and someone in your corner who helps you to see your blind spots and your brilliance.
Working together, we'll set you up for your next chapter as a business owner in the best way possible for you so that you can begin this new journey with clarity and confidence.
MY APPROACH
We go where you need to go.
Always client-centered, my strategy is firmly rooted in a results-based, impact-focused methodology that moves you forward with each session. I coach the whole person, not just the executive or the entrepreneur. Although the lens through which our coaching is focused is grounded in your work life, we won’t disregard the other parts of your life that sometimes influence what’s playing out in your professional life. We are open to what comes up.

She has helped me gain the clarity I needed to build and execute plans to accomplish my goals. She's helped me become a better team leader. Kia brings empathy and wit to her coaching. While she creates a compassionate space for me to grow, she also challenges me to do the hard work. I love working with Kia and highly recommend her as a coach.
